 Basic principle of
Thermochem
(qualitative aspects)
 Thermal Energy
• Heat is the transfer of thermal energy
between two bodies that are at the different
temperatures.

• Heat flows from warmer objects to cooler

objects.

• Thermochemistry is the study of heat changes

in chemical reactions.

3
Heat flow in thermal energy
• energy contained within a system that is responsible for its temperature.

• HEAT is the flow of thermal energy. Transformation of energy.

• it’s the energy that is associated with the random motion of atoms and molecules

• temperature is not the measurement of the thermal energy

• it’s depend on quantity: Extensive property

HEAT & THERMAL ENERGY are different

4
Thermochemistry: General Principle
• useful in predicting reactant and product quantities in a chemical reactions.

• use to predict whether a reaction is spontaneous (natural) or non-

spontaneous; favorable or unfavorable.

• combines the concepts of THERMODYNAMICS with the concept of energy in

the form of chemical bonds.

 Thermochemistry
• study of the heat energy relate to
chemical reactions and/or physical
transformations.

like: phase change;

change in energy :
endothermic : absorbs heat
exothermic : releases heat
• emphases on energy changes,
particularly on the system’s energy
exchange with its surroundings.
6
Heat
• Heat will flow from a hotter object to a colder object
or from higher temperature to lower temperature

Examples:
• Mix hot water with ice
Temperature of the ice rises after it melts

7
 Thermochemistry
Process of heat flow:
change of energy:
• Endothermic process/energy/reaction:
* heat from the surrounding;
* temperature of the surrounding
decreases.
** system becomes hotter

• Exothermic process/energy/reaction:
* release heat to the surrounding;
* temperature of the surrounding
increases.
** system becomes colder 8
Principles of Heat Flow: System and
Surrounding
• The system: that part of the universe on which attention is focused

• The surroundings: the rest of the universe

• Practically speaking, it is possible to consider only the surroundings that

directly contact the system

9
Principles of Heat Flow: System and
Surrounding
• Thermodynamic System/System
The substance under study in which a
change occurs is called the
thermodynamic system

• Thermodynamic
Surroundings/Surroundings
Everything else in the vicinity is called
the thermodynamic surroundings (or
just the surroundings).

 Chemical Reactions:
• System: reactants and products

• Surroundings:
are the vessel (beaker, test
tube, flask) in which the
reaction takes place plus the
air or other material in thermal
contact with the reaction system

 THREE TYPES OF SYSTEM
1. Open System: e.g. water in an open container. Can exchange
mass and heat with surroundings(in the form of heat).

2. Closed System: e.g. water in a closed containers. Only transfer

of energy, not mass.

3. Isolated System: e.g. water in a insulated container. No transfer

of mass or energy.

observed body when it releases and /or absorbs heat

• The temperature change is based on the heat capacity of the body.

(The higher the heat capacity the higher its boiling point)

19
Measurement of Heat Flow: Calorimetry

• The walls of the calorimeter are insulated to block heat flow between the
reaction and the surroundings

• The heat flow for the system is equal in magnitude and opposite in sign from
the heat flow of the calorimeter

Coffee-cup Calorimeter: Characteristics:
• is a constant pressure calorimeter (isobaric).

• it involves with little or no volume change.

• uses simple styrofoam cup.

styrofoam cup makes for a good adiabatic wall and

helps keep all the heat released or absorbed by the reaction

inside the cup for measurement.

23
Coffee-cup Calorimeter principle:
• heat of calorimeter, q cal (or called heat of reaction, q reaction) can be
determined from the mass of the substance multiplied by the
specific heat capacity of the substance, Cp and change of
temperature, ΔT of the substance.

Heat of calorimeter q cal is equal to the heat of the system, – qp system at constant
pressure,

24
 The Coffee-cup Calorimetry Equation:
Mathematical equation:

ΔT = temperature change in 0
C or K of the substance

NOTE:
• Many tables will list specific heat capacities using °C instead of K.
• These two units are equivalent because we are using ΔT and not plain T.

The Coffee-cup Calorimetry Equation:

Cp of water = 4.184 J/g 0C or 4.184 J/g K
Conversion of Cp to Cm

To convert to molar heat capacity, Cm: using: molar mass

convert to molar heat capacity, Cm

Cm = Cp x molar mass
molar mass of water: 18 g/mole

Cm = 4.184 J/g 0C x 18 g/mole = 75.31 J/mol 0C or 75.31 J/mol K

NOTE:
•Many tables will list specific heat capacities using °C instead of K.
•These two units are equivalent because we are using ΔT and not plain T.
•A change in Kelvin of 10 is exactly a change of 10 in °C as well.

temperature of the reaction, etc….. between two substances example:
water and metal.
Assumption:
1. System: water and heated metal
2. Surroundings: Apparatus used like coffee-cup and the environment
3. Energy is transferred only as heat within the system.
4. Water and metal have the same final temperature. (thermal
equilibrium)

33
 Energy Transferred as Heat (2 system)
Determining the specific heat capacity of a substance, between water and metal
Assumption:
5. q of heated metal, qm …. has a negative value (temp. decreases).. Release heat to the water
6. q of water, qw …. has a positive value (temp. increase) … absorb heat from the hot metal
7. qm and qw are numerically equal but are opposite in sign
8. Using : Law of Conservation of Energy:
In an isolated system the sum of energy changes within the system
is equal to zero. (If energy is transferred only as heat)
mathematical equation: Hot metal
q1 + q2 + q3 + …. = 0
for water and metal qm + qw = 0
qw = – qm
34
The Coffee-cup Calorimetry Equation: summary
For 2 systems:
• q = m x Cp x Δt heat absorbed = – heat released
endothermic = – exothermic
• q = m x Cp (t2 – t1)            q endo     =   –  q exo     

• m= q/Cp (t2 – t1) water, w and heated metal, hm:

• q w     =   –  q m

• Cp = q/m (t2 – t1)

• [m x Cp x Δt]w = [– m x Cp x Δt]hm

• Δt = q/ m x Cp
• [m x Cp x (t2 – t1) ]w = [– m x Cp x (t2 – t1) ]hm

• (t2 – t1) = q/ m x Cp
t2w = t2hm (thermal equilibrium: final temperature for
both water and hot metal are the same)

Sample problem:
1. A piece of zinc weighing 35.8 g was heated from 20.00°C to 28.00°C. How much heat was
required? The specific heat of zinc is 0.388 J/g°C.

Given: mass of Zn metal = 35.8 g t2 = 28.00°C

t1 = 20.00°C Cp of Zn metal = 0.388 J/g°C

Rqd: heat, q

Solution: q = m x Cp x Δt
q = m x Cp (t2 – t1)

substituting the values :

q = 35.8 g x 0.388 J/g°C (28.00°C - 20.00°C)

water, Cm of water is 75.312 J/mol 0C and density of water is 1.00 g/mL).

•Given: volume of water = 1 cup (1 cup = 250 mL); Cm = 75.312 J/mol; t1 = 22 0 C ; t2 = 98 0 C;  = 1.00 g/mL
•Rqd.: heat in kJ , qw
•Solution: q = mxCpxΔt mass in g, Cp in J/g0C , temperature in 0C
note from the given values that volume and molar heat capacity is given; so it cannot be use in the formula to
determine the heat of water.
convert first the volume to mass and the molar heat capacity to specific heat capacity of water
to convert volume of water to mass of water use( then cancel units) : conversion factor den use density of the water
mass of water = 1 cup x 250 mL/1 cup x 1.00 g/1 mL = 250 g
to convert molar heat capacity, Cm to specific heat capacity, Cp use the molar mass of water:
solving for the molar mass of H2O = (2 x 1 g/mol ) + (1 x 16 g/mol) = 18 g/mol
Cp = 75.312 J/mol 0C x 1 mol/18g = 4.184 J/g 0C
substitute the converted values to the formula:
q = mxCpxΔt = m x Cp (t2 – t1) = 250 g x 4.184 J/g 0C (98 0 C - 22 0 C)
q = 79,496 J
convert J to kJ : 1 kJ = 1000 J
q = 79,496 J x 1kJ/1000 J
q = 79.496 kJ

• Given: mass of metal = 55.0 g ; t 1m = 99.8 0 C; Cpw = 4.184 J/g0C

mass of water = 225.0 g; t1w = 21.0 0 C; t2m = t2w = 23.1 0 C
• Rgd.: specific heat capacity of metal, Cpm
• Solution: for two systems: the metal release heat to the water and the water absorbs heat from the metal

its mathematical equation is:

qw = – qm
(mxCpxΔt)w = (–mxCp xΔt)m
Cpm = (mxCpxΔt)w /(–mxΔt)m
Substituting the given values and cancellation of units and simplifying:
Cpm = [mxCp(t2-tt1)]w /[–m(t2-tt1)]m
Cpm = [225.0 g x 4.184J/g0C (23.1 0 C - 21.0 0 C )] /[–55.0 g (23.1 0 C - 99.8 0 C )]

* convert q in kJ/mol to q in kJ using the given mass and the molar mass of C 7H6O2
q in kJ = q in kJ/mol x given mass x molar mass
solve for the molar mass of C7H6O2 = 7x 12 g/mol + 6 x 1 g/mol + 2 x 16 g/mol = 122 g/mol

substituting the values:

q evolve = - 3.09 x 10 3 kJ/mol x 1 mole/122 g x 1.00 g = - 25.33 kJ
substitute the value of q in kJ:
- Ccal = - q evolve / Δt = - 25.33 kJ / 7.530C
- Ccal = - 3.364 kJ/oC
